To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The Secret Sauce is Pondering This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the October 2008 General Conference. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are taught that the Holy Ghost is the true teacher. Because all of us will be called to a teaching position at […]
It’s hard to believe, but we arrived at our “hump day” last week. That’s missionary talk for halfway point when serving a mission. We have nine more months to go. Serving a senior mission is one of the best kept secrets in our church, for some reason. And I’m not sure we share this secret […]
I love libraries and I love books. When I saw the title of Elder Boyd K. Packer’s talk for this week’s General Conference Odyssey, found in the April 1990 Priesthood session, I knew I had something to say. His talk, entitled, “The Library of the Lord,” reminds us of the importance of the scriptures. While […]
Our temple attendance is how we prepare to recognize, understand, and stand in front of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Recently, I’ve sat in some talks that help us get the most out of our temple experiences. This list is worth pondering and thinking about, and I invite you to do so. Pay Attention There […]
General Conference is around the corner. Are you ready to listen to the prophet? Do you remember what he said last time? Since starting my General Conference Odyssey posts, (here they are), I have learned a profound lesson. Each time the prophet and apostles speak to us, they leave us four spiritual gifts in every […]
We teach our children the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they will know why the gospel of Jesus Christ is worth living. Our son’s family has been staying with us and I have to admire what he does with his boys. Every night, before bed, he and his wife gather their children together and […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1982. The other day, my husband and I were doing sealings when the sealer asked us what “rites” are. Ever since I’ve been thinking about what our “rites” and “privileges” are in this church. And I feel like the talks in […]
With home-centered learning, we can raise the youth battalion to wield swords of the spirit of truth. And how do we do this? By knowing and understanding the very depths of the Book of Mormon. In four places of the Doctrine and Covenants, it repeats the power of the Book of Mormon in these words: […]
It still amazes me how timely these talks are, in regard to what we’re experiencing today. The session this week covers the General Relief Society meeting in October 1981, and guess what the first talk is about? Transition! As we all look forward to next year’s new schedule, we are going to be adapting to […]
I have been in far too many situations where I felt unprepared as a teacher. One time, I “stupidly” volunteered during Sacrament meeting to teach the Gospel Doctrine class when the teacher was suddenly called away. Luckily, I had my scriptures with me (because without my marked-up scriptures, I am completely lost), and I thought […]
